2021 Kiona Vineyard Red Blend
During our visit to Argentina, we were enamored by the unique blending of Cabernet Franc with Malbec, as was our Winemaker Scott Sabbadini. When the opportunity came to buy some of these grapes from our friends at Kiona Vineyard (Red Mountain AVA, Washington State), we decided to make the blend. It has 64% Cabernet Franc and 36% Malbec, and was aged 16 months in French oak barrels.
